Embodiments of the invention are directed to a traffic control marker having a mesh base and an improved inner core. In accordance with various embodiments, there is provided a traffic control assembly, which includes a base selectively mountable adjacent a roadway, the base comprising a plurality of through holes, and a flexible tubular member connected to the base. The traffic control assembly further includes a flange selectively mountable below the base. The flange includes a plurality of through holes spaced around a portion of the circumference of the flange. Further, the traffic control assembly includes an adhesive material applied to an underside of the base and the flange to secure the traffic control assembly to the roadway. The adhesive material fills the plurality of through holes in the base and in the flange, when the traffic control assembly is mounted to the roadway. Various embodiments also provide for a flexible support arranged inside of the flexible tubular member and configured to increase the resiliency of the flexible tubular member to an impact by a moving vehicle.
